Testimonials

“I would like to express my thanks to Alastair Fearn for his hard work!”

Leon Jacobson - Grade Products

Having previously employed other rating surveyors without success I was interested to see if a different approach from FHP would yield a positive result. I was therefore extremely pleased when I was informed of the Valuation Tribunal decision and I would like to express my thanks to Alastair Fearn for his hard work in achieving this result.

“At every step Jessica has been professional and knowledgeable.”

Mark Rees - Director - Penmark Cards

Since instructing the business rates team at FHP to look at our retail portfolio 18 months ago we have seen a steady flow of rateable value reductions and subsequent refunds. We have used FHP as our property consultants for 6 years for agency matters and have always been pleased with the results, and I’m very pleased we extended this business relationship to looking at our rates liabilities as well. At every step Jessica has been professional and knowledgeable and I would recommend her and the business rates team to anyone based on their work to date.

“We have been delighted with the level of service that Jessica has provided.”

Rob Wood - Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service

We have been delighted with the level of service that Jessica has provided when looking at the Business Rates for Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service. Over the last 18 months they have assessed each station, sorted discretionary reliefs from Councils, and appealed many of the Rateable Values. The savings from these appeals and associated auditing to date total near on £100,000 which is very welcome news in what are very austere times for many Fire and Rescue Services. At each step of the process we have been kept informed of progress and savings achieved, and I would not hesitate to recommend the Business Rates team to others as efficient, knowledgeable and dedicated in helping their clients save money.

“Cameron was outstandingly professional.”

Colin & Sue Ward, Loughborough

We would like to thank Cameron Butler for his invaluable work, advice and expertise during the compulsory purchase of our home and family butchers business. Recommended by our accountant, Cameron was outstandingly professional and, despite numerous challenges from the County Council, remained resolute during the long and technical negotiations. Without his dedication it would have been almost impossible to have undertaken these negotiations and continue to run our business. The efforts of Cameron minimised the stress of this process, for which we and our family will be forever grateful. We would have no hesitation in recommending FHP to people in the future, as would our accountant and solicitor.

“I have been delighted with their service and results.”

Rod Neasham - Centre Manager - Market Place Shopping Centre, Bolton

The team at FHP have been providing my Shopping Centre with rating advice over the last 5 years and I have been delighted with their service and results. They have proactively challenged and obtained reductions in the levels of Rateable Values and constantly monitor changes so that no opportunities for making savings are lost. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services and am looking forward to them continuing to achieve great results for the Centre.
